Full List of PDCs???

Permaculture Magazine (http://permaculturemag.org/) used to have a full list of Permaculture Design Courses, but it seems that their website is down(ish). I would love to take a credible PDC as close to me as possible (I'm in NW Arkansas near OK, MO, and KS). Does anyone know of a full list of PDCs in the US?

Thank you!

Not sure, but I've heard that Geoff Lawton's online pdc is good.

This is the only one I found in your region:

Hi,
there is a great opportunity to do the  Permaculture Design Course online. The course is the classic, official 72-hour Permaculture Design Certificate Course (PDC) as taught by the founders of Permaculture – Bill Mollison and David Holmgren and taught by Dr. Alan Enzo and other highly-qualified teachers from the Permaculture Education Center.

This could work for me, I only have a few questions. Can the homework assignments and Final Design Project be done on less than a quarter of an acre? Also would one need to buy anything more for the course like animals, tools .etc? Is there anything in the homework or project that would be prohibitive in a city?

Hi,
yes, that's totally possible! The homework assignments are mainly theoretical, so there is no need to buy anything (an example could be something like research medicinal plants/fruit trees native to your area).  The final design project needs to be based on a actual property, but there is no mandatory to implement it, although that would be ideal of course. The size of the site doesn't matter, as permaculture can be done anywhere, even on a balcony or in a small backyard! You will have to design the project according to your local circumstances, so if you are in a city, then nobody will expect you to design it with lots of animals involved for example or with anything else that might be prohibited.

Hope that helped, let me know if you have any other questions!

Here's the PDC online course run by Noosa Forest Retreat - one of the first and longest running Australian permaculture communities.

Check out the FREE introduction course and if you like the teacher and style of course!

You'll get personal support by the principal teacher Ian Trew - who (in my opinion) is a pure genius.

Check out this short video here, where Ian Trew is talking about how to start a food forest, step by step:

 

PermacultureCourseOnline.com also offers a free community and magazine, where everyone can submit articles about cool stuff they've learned or came across.
